Many people are against the US/UK intervention in Iraq but still find it important to recognise this for what it is.

It's not just the Iraq invasion, it's all the other campaigns of terror carried out by governments round the world.

The massacre at Srbrenica, ten years ago the other day, was carried out by informed representatives of a government; the genocide in Ruanda was carried out on behalf of a government. (I intentionally avoid mentioning any examples that might be contentious.)

If we are against terror we are against all terror, not picking and choosing. If picking and choosing is OK, why not welcome Al Qaida into the big tent? After all you can be sure there are examples of terror to which they would be happy to denounce. JMuyst nit te ones caried out by themselves and their friends.
